Treatment of industrial wastewater
Summary
This review covers the main methods used for treating industrial wastewater, including primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment approaches. The study discusses the specific challenges posed by diverse manufacturing processes and outlines the conditions that industrial discharges must meet, providing an overview of available technologies for reducing the environmental impact of factory effluents.
In industrialized countries, there is a great diversity of the specificities of manufacturing processes and means used for industrial wastewater treatment. The developments that these processing problems can allow are immense, given the many production sectors. Faced with this situation, we have developed in this work the essential ideas concerning the problems of the treatment of very particular effluents from industrial establishments, the conditions to be met by the discharges and the different treatment methods: primary, secondary and tertiary. Examination of these types of treatment allowed us to divide industrial effluents into four categories.
